Roll the 757, course you can, done it many times, (in the sim,!) but Tex Johnson rolled the B707 prototype in the air ''selling airplanes''.
I have no doubt the airframe is capable of a roll, but is't the flight computers limiting the bank angle? Discovery wings were mentioning 60degrees for the A380 if I remember right.
Ah yes.... The difference between the Airbus and Boeing philosophy!
Boeing still believes in the pilot having control of the total flight envelope..........you can even roll a B777 (in the sim)
Just like David mentioned; nose up, roll, power back so you don't over speed.
Not to say that the B777 doesn't give you feedback thru the controls when you exceed normal parameters, but it will still go wherever you point it.
